Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

I posted this on fb so I apologize for the repeat but are Sierra and Sarah too similar? My sister's name is Sarah and dh wants to name Baby Bun Sierra if it's a girl. He says they are nothing alike; what do you think?
 
I cannot imagine not knowing, but maybe if you don't get sickness it's not that hard.. A girl a went to school with recently gave birth and didn't even know she was pregnant. Had to call her husband and tell him she was in labour from hospital when they didnt even know thy were pregnant. I can't imagine how you miss the kicks?

I think Sierra is a totally different name, not sure I would be able to call my own daughter that (I'm Sarah) but I think it's ok for an aunt?
 
I dont know how you cant know either :shrug: always baffles me. I can understand finding out at say 5 months because some people dont feel movement until then, esp with an anterior placenta, but towards the end, i just dont understand it.

I dont think Sierra is to similar to sarah. xx
 
Hello ladies and hello to new ladies.

Been offline for a couple of days so popping in quickly at work. Sorry for no individual replies or anything.

Glad everyone sounds like they are doing well and yay for all the recent gender scans. 3 weeks today until ours and I really can't wait now. xx
 
Sierra and Sarah sound similar, but because it's your sister, I wouldn't think there would be a whole lot of confusion about who you were talking to. Maybe if your daughters were Sarah and Sierra, it might be a little confusing.
 
I think the names are totally different and I would use Sierra if my sister's name were sara.

Hoping everyone is doing great today! I have a lot of pressure and a real hard bump today. I am NOT constipated so I am wondering if Zaya is just growing or laying on a nerve today? It is not painful, just pressure-like. And when the pressure increases everyone better get out of my way because I have to Pee at that moment and when I go it seems like I had been holding it for hours and I will just keep going for a looonnnggg time LOL. I am not complaining just found it comical! :haha:
Oh, on a cuter note, when DH woke me up to say bye before work he kissed me of course, then pulled the blankets down got right next to my belly where Zaya hangs out and said, "hey Kiddo, hope you have a fun day growing and moving all around in there. Start trying out those kicks so your Momma and I can feel you dancing in there. Love you baby girl" I started to tear up :cry::happydance:
Made my day. Then DH rolled me over back onto my side, as I tend to end up on my back when he crawls out of bed in the morning almost like I am subconsciously trying to follow him, and placed a pillow behind my back so I would stay put. He is silly
 
aw your DH sounds really sweet peanut! When i was pregnant with my son i would describe what feels like a constant bloated feeling (but i wasnt bloated) for a few days and then my bump seemed to pop out, i think it was baby growing. I had it the other day and i think iv grown a little bit this week :)

xx
 
Peanut your husband sounds ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!!! :cry: cutest thing ever!! :)
 
Peanut - That is soooo cute!!! <3 <3 <3 Oh, and maybe the pressure you are feeling are Braxton-Hicks. They could be starting now.

Oh, and Garden - I don't think the names are too similar.
 
Ok, last night I was lounging around watching TV and my cat (my first born, 15 year old orange tabby), came up and laid down on my stomach for some snugs. As soon as he started purring, baby just WOKE UP! Started kicking and squirming and rolling around!
It was the most movement I have felt yet... and I hate to admit, it felt a *little* creepy. BUT, I still loved it, none-the-less. Now I know how to get the little gummy bear moving!

Also, tell me if I am a mean mommy...
At work my belly kinda rests up against my desk. I can always feel baby kinda, kicking or pushing against my tummy, like, "Mommy, desk is squishing me!" But I love to feel baby move so much, I just stay there and wait for the little taps. Is that mean of me? I am not really squashing baby, right? It's not like I am putting pressure or anything. My bump just kinda rests there since it has no where else to go.

No I don't think you are mean nor do I think you are hurting baby.... probably pressure from desk is causing less room for LO to move around which makes it easier for you to feel Her/him... LOVEEEEEE that your kitty woke the baby!!! FOB's Animals 3 dogs plus 4 puppies and a Cat all want to snuggle me when I go into the main house to use bathroom. I LOVE IT!!! :) But doesn't make baby move around, I WISH!!!
 
Ok, girls, I'm frustrated by dreams!! Up until now, I've not really had too many dreams about this baby. The first dream I had was about twin boys, but I dismissed it because I already know I'm not having twins. And the dream was totally stupid and unrealistic. But now I've had two dreams back to back and I'm about to beat my head against the wall because of how the dreams have made me FEEL. Ok....here's the sitch:

Tuesday night, I dreamed that we had a little girl. She was cute, and when I woke up all day yesterday I felt like this baby was a girl. All along I've felt like it's been a boy simply because we already have boys and I figure we'll probably have another. But this dream felt so real and I could imagine this one as a girl.

Then last night I dreamed that we'd been told via ultrasound that we were having a boy. Had bought all the boy things, saw the winkie on the pictures. I had the baby, doctor handed baby to daddy, and hubby said, "Uhhh, babe? This is no boy." And then proceeded to show me that our child was a girl. In the dream, I was so disappointed that we had a girl.

WHAT THE HECK!! I think I've read too many threads about wrong genders. ROFL!!
 
Whoopsie :) I've not been on here for aaaaggggeessss!

Hope everyone is doing ok? The group has grown so much! I will make an effort to get on more again!
 
Jammers, I'm frustrated by dreams but not baby related, lol. I usually sleep so deeply I don't remember my dreams at all but when I'm pregnant, omg, I have the strangest most bizarre dreams imaginable!! And I wake up from them and can't get back to sleep for hours. With a ten month old who wakes every few hours, this means even less sleep! So ready for the psycho dreams to cease! I haven't had any gender dreams though, I don't think I'd mind those....

On that note though, my gender scan is Monday and gender reveal party scheduled for Tuesday. I really hope baby cooperates with showing the goods so the party isn't a flop!! :)
 
Bubs, I was so happy reading your kitty story. My guy lives sitting on my lap..lately I've been stopping him bc he likes to push his big paws down right where my uterus is when I'm laying in bed and I don't want him to push too hard! I will definitely try to purr trick when I am far enough to feel movements I would love for my baby and cat to be buddies :)

peanut, I love the story about your dh. It made me tear up!!!

Okay, question! Since I am first time preggo, I was wondering about RLP. I think I have felt it a few times...once being when I sneezed and I felt my lower abdomen tighten on the right side and feel sore for a few min. Well, yesterday I was sitting on my bed with my legs bent and sort of tucked up to my chest. I stood up quickly and got a sharp pain on both sides where it was so painful I laid on the floor for a minute. It almost felt like a pulled muscle. After a min or two it went away and felt fine! Are these two incidents RLP or something else? There are things I'm learning about being preg that I never knew...rlp and bh being two! And I feel like I wont fully understand until I feel it. Thanks in advance for your insight!
 
Babymonkey - those sound like text book RLP to me. They make me see stars sometimes! If you bend your hips, it will ease. Does that make sense? So pull your knees toward your chest. I hope that makes sense... It makes the sting or yank feeling ease off. Or just bend at the waist.
 
Anyone see that pic of the kitty rubbing a big bump with a caption "I think I'm gonna love the new baby!" Then the next pic is baby laying on top of the same cat with a caption "I take back everything I said before!" Lol toooooo cute! I wish my kitties were with me in Texas cuddling my bump! ;)
 
Hey all, I found this group really helpful when I was expecting my own November sparkler, so wanted to come back and say I got my BFP this morning :) I am two days late and hubby convinced me to test :) I am so scared of losing again tho, although the line is darker xxx DSC_2909.jpg


Hope eeveryone is ok? Xx
